I have a 87 non-turbo that has an interesting querk. When the engine is well warmed up and then shut off, it will not start if tried in 15 to 30 minutes. It tries but will not catch- after 30 minutes or so it will start ok. Anyone out there had quarks like this?? I know the injectors are leaking and have installed the fuel pump cut off switch. It is always shut off with the switch first. This summer I will send the injectors out for rebuild, but need ideas on the "quark"

 

that is normal i'm seeing on second gen rx7's you might want to do some searches as its never happened to me but there are plenty of people with this problem.

 

Maybe your, like many others, little rubber plugs on the inside of the corner seal have worn away? They're there to (allegedly) help in hot start conditions to raise the compression a bit. Both motors i've torn down to date have had these missing and/or completly worn down.

Next time you try to start it pump the accelerator pedal a few times as soon as you crank it, you'll find it will most probably catch every single time that way.

 

That is not normal, and indicative of either or all, poor compression, leaking injectors, poor grounds, bad hot start assist, or a bad air intake temp sensor on the dynamic chamber.

 

do a search you will see how normal it is.

 

Its not how the car came from the factory... so it is not normal.

It means something is disconnected or broken.

And the title of the thread got edited to reflect the problem, instead of some unclear question.

 

lol, I know its not like that from the factory but given the year and the mileage (I'm guessing) its normal.

Ps. Listen to icemark though its not supposed to be like that

 

thanks for the editing and the help, will keep looking

 

have u tried checking the starter? All starts when they wear out have trouble starting when hot
